context_page_description: Peabody-Burns Junior/Senior High School is a public secondary school in Peabody, Kansas, United States, operated by Peabody-Burns USD 398 public school district, and serves students of grades 7 to 12. It is the sole high school in the district for Peabody, Burns, Wonsevu, and nearby rural areas of Marion / Chase / Harvey / Butler Counties.
context_section_description: In 1923, the first high school was built at 900 North Walnut Street for grades 9 to 12.  Prior to the opening of this high school, all grades went to the same school building.
  In 1946–1947, the School Reorganization Act consolidated many one-room rural schools into the Peabody school district.
  In 1953, the Brown Building was built, across the street, to house a larger gymnasium, band / lunch room, and vocational agriculture rooms.
  In 1965, the Burns and Summit school districts were unified with Peabody to form Unified School District 398.  The Burns High School in Burns, Kansas was closed, as was the rural Summit school that was located between Peabody and Burns.
  In 1997, the current high school was built (and attached) to the south side the existing Brown Building at 810 North Sycamore Street.  Soon afterward, the former 1923 high school across the street was demolished and converted into a football practice field.  The Burns Grade School, which included a junior high, was closed in Burns, Kansas.
